SURREY BELLE (1) is a fine jumper who has been untouchable in recent runs. Comes here off back-to-back wins. Scored in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter two starts back then was most impressive last time, scoring by 57 lengths in a hurdle (4060m) at Newcastle. Highly impressive of late and looks tough to beat again. NORTHERN AIR (9) returns from a spell of two months, and has been successful first-up in the past. Kicked off last prep with a solid second in a hurdle at Ayr over 3200m. Key runner. WALKADINA (4) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (3200m) at Ludlow, finishing second when partnered by today's rider Jack Tudor. Expecting further improvement. BARRABOOL (11) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a hurdle (3200m) at Windsor. Improved and finished second last start, beaten 6 lengths, in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton. Capable of playing a major role.
